This week, the Epic Games Store is giving away two free PC games worth a combined $40. One of the games, released in 2021, has an impressive 95% rating on Steam. While neither game is brand new – the other was released in 2024 – both are completely free to download and keep for PC users. This offer is only available for one week and will expire on February 19th.
This week, the Epic Games Store is giving away two free games: The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark, which has a very positive 95% rating on Steam, and Nobody Wants to Die. Normally, The Darkside Detective costs $15, and Nobody Wants to Die costs $25.
The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark
Released in 2021 by Spooky Doorway and published by Akupara Games, The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark is a sequel to the 2017 game, The Darkside Detective. A new installment, The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon, is currently being developed.
Currently, the game has 1,527 reviews on Steam, and 95% of players recommend it. This earns it Steam’s highest rating – “Overwhelmingly Positive.”
Nobody Wants to Die
Released in 2024, Nobody Wants to Die is an action-adventure game developed by Critical Hit Games and published by Plaion. This is Critical Hit Games’ first game release.
The game currently has 2,540 reviews on Steam, and 83% of players recommend it. This earns it a “Very Positive” rating, which is among the highest scores a game can receive on the platform.
One of the Best Epic Games Store Free Games of 2026
It’s always a good idea to grab these free games, even if you don’t plan to play them right away – you might change your mind later! The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark is a particularly good indie game from 2021 and one of the best freebies the store has offered this year. Nobody Wants to Die isn’t quite as strong, but it’s worth checking out if you enjoy cyberpunk stories. And if these games don’t appeal to you, don’t worry – there are more free options! Steam is also giving away a new cyberpunk game that’s been getting some buzz.
